Have you ever had that line work on a girl?” He responds in Italian, “Yes, actually, all the time. That is, it works when the girl actually needs a drink.” He adds in Italian, “You’re too nervous. You need to relax and be yourself.” “Yes,” you respond in Italian, “That’s why I’m just doing what I’m told - I’m too anxious to think for myself. Any other bright ideas, buddy? She’s still outside, and I’m in here with you!” Your friend suggests in Italian, “Do whatever it takes to convince her to come in here. Tell her you’ve seen Elvis or a ghost or something. Or better yet, tell her you need to show her something.” You mull this over and say to him in Italian, “You’re right, I’ll think of something. I’ll give it one more try…”
